What a hell day, customers (in a jam packed restaurant) yelling at us after just ten mins, demanding to know where there food is, and complaints galore all bloody futile, had one customer order a taco salad, where in the menu it states "seasoned beef" she calls me over and says she cant eat it because there is seasoning on the beef and wants something else, well at that point in the day I had had more than enough, so I showed her the menu and said Im sorry but you are not going to stiff us the 9 dollars that the meal costs, just because you didnt like it, she went crazy, so I crazied back lol 'felt good" then asked her if she would like it packaged and wanted to order more of the menu, she demanded to see the manager, well of course me and him are in cohoots and him and his 7 foot frame came out of the kitchen, funnily enough she didnt have much of a problem all of a sudden, she then had a bowl of soup, when she left I rang her through cash and she said "and I hope you dont expect a tip" I said " no honey the tips all mine, from here on in the little bit of life you have left, try to be nice, other wise no one will show up at your funeral" yes I did and felt good doing it, ok done for the day.....til next time ttfn.

well no one goes on here so im just going to ramble..........tomorrow is Alecs birthday, so HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO HIM.
Now im going to tell daily stories from work, didnt work today but have a story!
A customer comes in every day for lunch, usually a quesidilla (spelt wrong) so I asked him if he is working in the mall, no he says I visit my wife in the hospice across the road, he continued that his wife has alziemers and has been there for 4 years, he goes every single day and feeds her cleans her what ever he needs to do, never misses a day never misses a holiday and cherishes the days he walks in and she calls him by name...sigh, broke my heart, he said there is no history of alzeimers in the family, but he and his wife were in a serious accident in 99 and family friends started noticing a change in her since then, it killed him to have her admitted to the hospice but it was out of his control keeping an eye on her, she is 67 years old, this man deserves a medal :)
